Detox Clay + Charcoal Homemade Facial Cleanser

Washing your face with clay and charcoal seems weird, right? But together they create a gentle homemade facial cleanser that gently exfoliates the surface of your skin to remove makeup and dead skin cells and also detoxify your pores.

We’ve talked about face scrubs before and how to manually exfoliate. But cleansing grains are different in that they contain no water or other fresh ingredients that would cause the mixture to spoil. So the cleanser will stay good for 6 months or more – as long as you’re careful to avoid introducing water.

The ingredients in this cleanser are gentle enough for all skin types, but it works especially well for oily skin. Your skin gets smooth from gentle buffing on the surface while the clay and charcoal suck up excess oil, dirt and impurities from your pores.

Great for fighting acne, oats are soothing and work as great skin cleansers, thanks to saponins, which remove dirt and oil. Oats have great soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that make them a great choice for treating dry skin and conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Charcoal is not just for whitening your teeth. It acts like a vacuum to absorb excess oil and clear dirt and pollution out of clogged pores. To work best, charcoal needs to sit on the skin for at least minute.

I keep my grains by the skin and just pour a small amount into the palm of my hand. Then add a bit of water to moisten and apply to your face, massaging it into your skin. If you want to up the cleansing power – or use the mixture as a face mask – you can experiment with other skin-loving liquids.

Milk or citrus juice add additional natural acids to help exfoliate. For aging skin, rose water and green tea are two of my favorites. If your skin is super dry you can use an oil to cleanse.

You can use a teaspoon of activated charcoal. I’ve searched it in the internet and the result is a spoonful of a teaspoon. Roughly the same, hahahahaha. Why i said that? Because your problem exactly just like mine, it comes in a loose form. And I’ve tried to and reach the same exact colour as the photo look like
